4899 - رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ اَلْعَرُوسُ بَيْتَكَ فَاخْلَعْ خُفَّيْهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُ وَ اِغْسِلْ رِجْلَيْهَا وَ صُبَّ اَلْمَاءَ مِنْ بَابِ دَارِكَ إِلَى أَقْصَى دَارِكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ أَخْرَجَ اَللَّهُ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ لَوْنٍ مِنَ اَلْفَقْرِ وَ أَدْخَلَ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ لَوْنٍ مِنَ اَلْبَرَكَةَ وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ رَحْمَةً تُرَفْرِفُ عَلَى رَأْسِ اَلْعَرُوسِ حَتَّى تَنَالَ بَرَكَتُهَا كُلَّ زَاوِيَةٍ فِي بَيْتِكَ وَ تَأْمَنَ اَلْعَرُوسُ مِنَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا مَا دَامَتْ فِي تِلْكَ اَلدَّارِ وَ اِمْنَعِ اَلْعَرُوسَ فِي أُسْبُوعِهَا مِنَ اَلْأَلْبَانِ وَ اَلْخَلِّ وَ اَلْكُزْبُرَةِ وَ اَلتُّفَّاحِ اَلْحَامِضِ مِنْ هَذِهِ اَلْأَرْبَعَةِ اَلْأَشْيَاءِ" فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ وَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْنَعُهَا هَذِهِ اَلْأَشْيَاءَ اَلْأَرْبَعَةَ" قَالَ "لِأَنَّ اَلرَّحِمَ تَعْقَمُ وَ تَبْرُدُ مِنْ هَذِهِ اَلْأَرْبَعَةِ اَلْأَشْيَاءِ عَنِ اَلْوَلَدِ وَ لَحَصِيرٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ اَلْبَيْتِ خَيْرٌ مِنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ لاَ تَلِدُ" فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ مَا بَالُ اَلْخَلِّ تَمْنَعُ مِنْهُ" قَالَ "إِذَا حَاضَتْ عَلَى اَلْخَلِّ لَمْ تَطْهُرْ أَبَداً بِتَمَامٍ وَ اَلْكُزْبُرَةُ تُثِيرُ اَلْحَيْضَ فِي بَطْنِهَا وَ تُشَدِّدُ عَلَيْهَا اَلْوِلاَدَةَ وَ اَلتُّفَّاحُ اَلْحَامِضُ يَقْطَعُ حَيْضَهَا فَيَصِيرُ دَاءً عَلَيْهَا " ثُمَّ قَالَ "يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُجَامِعِ اِمْرَأَتَكَ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ وَسَطِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّ اَلْجُنُونَ وَ اَلْجُذَامَ وَ اَلْخَبَلَ لَيُسْرِعُ إِلَيْهَا وَ إِلَى وَلَدِهَا يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُجَامِعِ اِمْرَأَتَكَ بَعْدَ

Hadith.4899 - It has been narrated from Abu Said al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) advised Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), saying: "O Ali (as), when the bride enters your house, remove her shoes when she sits, wash her feet, and pour the water from the entrance of your house to the farthest part of your home. If you do this, Allah (swt) will remove seventy thousand kinds of poverty from your house and bring in seventy thousand kinds of blessings. Seventy mercies will descend upon her, fluttering over her head, and their blessings will reach every corner of your house. The bride will be protected from insanity, leprosy, and vitiligo as long as she remains in that house. Prevent the bride, during her first week, from consuming milk, vinegar, coriander, and sour apples. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), why should I prevent her from these four things?' He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'Because the womb becomes barren and cold from these four things, which affect childbearing. A simple mat in the corner of the house is better than a woman who does not bear children.'" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the reason for avoiding vinegar?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "If she menstruates while consuming vinegar, she will never attain complete purity. Coriander provokes menstruation in her womb and makes childbirth difficult for her. Sour apples cut off her menstruation and may cause illness for her." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "O Ali (as), do not approach your wife for intimacy at the beginning, middle, or end of the month, for insanity, leprosy, and mental disorder may affect her and your child. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife after noon, for if a child is conceived at that time, it may be cross-eyed, and Satan rejoices at cross-eyed humans. O Ali (as), do not speak during intimacy, for if a child is conceived, there is a risk that it may be born mute. And let no one look at the private parts of his wife; rather, he should lower his gaze during intimacy, for looking at the private parts causes blindness in the offspring. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife while imagining another woman, for I fear that if a child is conceived, it may be born as an effeminate or feminine-minded person. O Ali (as), if a person is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) while in bed with his wife, he should not recite the Quran, for I fear that a fire from the sky may descend upon them and burn them." The compiler of this book, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, explained that the prohibition refers specifically to the recitation of the verses of prostration (Ayat al-Aza'im), and not to other parts of the Quran. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) continued saying: "O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife unless you have a cloth with you and she has a cloth with her, and do not wipe yourselves with the same cloth, for the desire will accumulate upon desire, which leads to enmity between you, eventually resulting in separation and divorce. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife while standing, for that is the behavior of donkeys. If a child is conceived in that state, he will urinate in the bed like donkeys that urinate everywhere. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the night of Eid al-Adha, for if a child is conceived, he may be born with six fingers or four fingers. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife under a fruit-bearing tree, for if a child is conceived in such a place, he may become a harsh and ruthless killer or a commander over others." O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the presence of the sun and its brightness unless you lower a covering to conceal yourselves, for if a child is conceived in such a state, he will live in misery and poverty until he dies. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife between the call to prayer (adhan) and the commencement of prayer (iqamah), for if a child is conceived, he will be eager to shed blood. O Ali (as), when your wife is pregnant, do not have relations with her unless you are in a state of ablution (wudu), for if a child is conceived, he will be blind of heart and stingy in hand. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the night of the middle of Shaban, for if a child is conceived, he will be unfortunate and may have a mark on his face. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the final days of the month, when only two days remain, for if a child is conceived, he will become a tax collector or an aide to oppressors, and the destruction of many people will be at his hands. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the rooftops of buildings, for if a child is conceived, he will become a hypocrite, a show-off, and an innovator in religion. O Ali (as), when you set out on a journey, do not engage in intimacy with your wife on the night of your departure, for if a child is conceived, he will spend his wealth inappropriately. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) then recited: "Indeed, the spendthrifts are brothers of the devils." O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife when you are leaving on a journey of three days and nights, for if a child is conceived, he will become a supporter of every oppressor against you. O Ali (as), engage in intimacy with your wife on Monday nights, for if a child is conceived, he will be a guardian of the Book of Allah (swt) and content with what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has decreed. O Ali (as), if you have relations with your wife on Tuesday night and a child is conceived, he will be granted martyrdom after bearing witness to La ilaha illa Allah (swt) (There is no god but Allah (swt)) and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (swt). He will not be punished alongside the polytheists, and he will have a pleasant scent, a merciful heart, generous hands, and a tongue pure from gossip, lies, and false accusations. O Ali (as), if you have relations with your wife on Thursday night and a child is conceived, he will become a judge among judges or a scholar among scholars. If you have relations with her on Thursday during the time when the sun is at its zenith, and a child is conceived, Satan will not approach him until he reaches old age. He will be righteous and Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, will grant him safety in both religion and worldly matters. O Ali (as), if you have relations with her on Friday night and a child is conceived, he will become an eloquent speaker and a persuasive orator. If you have relations with her on Friday after the afternoon (Asr) prayer and a child is conceived, he will be known, famous, and a scholar. If you have relations with her on Friday night after the late evening (Isha) prayer, it is hoped that the child will be among the abdal (pious individuals), if Allah (swt), the Exalted, wills. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the early hours of the night, for if a child is conceived, there is a risk that he may become a sorcerer and one who prefers the worldly life over the Hereafter. O Ali (as), safeguard this advice of mine just as I have preserved it from Jibril (as)."

Hadith.4900 - A man from the companions of Commander of the Faithful (as) complained about his wife. Commander of the Faithful (as) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "O people! Do not obey women in every matter and do not entrust them with wealth. Do not leave them to manage household affairs, for if they are left to act as they wish, they will lead to destruction and overstep the authority of the owner. Indeed, we have found them lacking in piety when fulfilling their needs and impatient when pursuing their desires. Vanity is inherent in them even as they grow older, and pride clings to them even when they become weak. They do not appreciate abundance when denied little; they forget the good but remember the bad. They rush into slander, persist in transgression, and align themselves with Satan. So, handle them with care in all circumstances and speak kindly to them so they may act righteously."

4901 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَصَّ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِمَكَارِمِ اَلْأَخْلاَقِ فَامْتَحِنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ فَاحْمَدُوا اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اِرْغَبُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي اَلزِّيَادَةِ مِنْهَا فَذَكَرَهَا عَشَرَةً اَلْيَقِينَ وَ اَلْقَنَاعَةَ وَ اَلصَّبْرَ وَ اَلشُّكْرَ وَ اَلْحِلْمَ وَ حُسْنَ اَلْخُلُقِ وَ اَلسَّخَاءَ وَ اَلْغَيْرَةَ وَ اَلشَّجَاعَةَ وَ اَلْمُرُوءَةَ ".

Hadith.4901 - Abdullah ibn Muskan narrated from Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, distinguished His Messenger (peace be upon him and his family) with noble character traits. Therefore, examine yourselves, and if you find these traits within you, then praise Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, and seek from Him (swt) an increase in them." He (as) then mentioned ten traits: certainty (yaqin), contentment (qana'ah), patience (sabr), gratitude (shukr), forbearance (hilm), good manners (husn al-khuluq), generosity (sakha'), protective jealousy (ghayrah), courage (shuja'ah), and honor (muru'ah).

4902 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "مَنْ أَرَادَ اَلْبَقَاءَ وَ لاَ بَقَاءَ فَلْيُبَاكِرِ اَلْغَدَاءَ وَ لْيُجَوِّدِ اَلْحِذَاءَ وَ لْيُخَفِّفِ اَلرِّدَاءَ وَ لْيُقِلَّ مُجَامَعَةَ اَلنِّسَاءِ، " قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ وَ مَا خِفَّةُ اَلرِّدَاءِ قَالَ "قِلَّةُ اَلدَّيْنِ".

Hadith.4911 - Commander of the Faithful (as) said in his will to his son Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah: "O my son, when you are strong, be strong in obedience to Allah (swt), and when you are weak, be weak in disobedience to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. And if you can avoid giving a woman authority over anything beyond herself, then do so, for it preserves her beauty longer, brings more comfort to her mind, and improves her condition. Indeed, a woman is like a delicate flower, not a caretaker. So, be gentle with her in every situation and maintain good companionship with her so that your life may be peaceful."

4912 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: تَذَاكَرُوا اَلشُّؤْمَ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ "اَلشُّؤْمُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ اَلدَّابَّةِ وَ اَلدَّارِ فَأَمَّا شُؤْمُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ فَكَثْرَةُ مَهْرِهَا وَ عُقُوقُ زَوْجِهَا وَ أَمَّا اَلدَّابَّةُ فَسُوءُ خُلُقِهَا وَ مَنْعُهَا ظَهْرَهَا وَ أَمَّا اَلدَّارُ فَضِيقُ سَاحَتِهَا وَ شَرُّ جِيرَانِهَا وَ كَثْرَةُ عُيُوبِهَا".

Hadith.4912 - It is narrated from Khalid ibn Najeeh that Imam Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq (as) said: They were discussing misfortune in his presence. Imam (as) said: "Misfortune lies in three things: in a woman, in a mount, and in a house. As for the misfortune of a woman, it is in her high dowry and her disobedience to her husband. As for the mount, it is in its bad temperament and its refusal to allow itself to be ridden. And as for the house, it is in its narrow space, its bad neighbors, and its many defects."

4913 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَا بُنَيَّ إِيَّاكَ وَ كَثْرَةَ اَلنَّوْمِ بِاللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ اَلنَّوْمِ بِاللَّيْلِ تَدَعُ اَلرَّجُلَ فَقِيراً يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ ".

Hadith.4914 - It is narrated from Sulayman ibn Ja'far al-Basri from Abdullah ibn al-Husayn ibn Zayd ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) (peace be upon them) from his father from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, dislikes for you, O nation, twenty-four traits and has forbidden you from them. He (swt) dislikes frivolity during prayer, boasting in charity, laughing among graves, peeking into homes, and looking at the private parts of women." He (sw) said: "It leads to blindness." He (swt) has disliked speaking during intercourse. He (sw) said: "It leads to muteness." He (swt) has disliked sleeping before the last ('Isha) prayer and disliked talking after the last ('Isha) prayer. He (swt) has disliked bathing under the open sky without a loincloth, disliked intercourse under the open sky, and disliked entering rivers without a loincloth. He (sw) said: "There are inhabitants and dwellers from among the angels in the rivers." He (swt) has disliked entering bathhouses without a loincloth, disliked talking between the adhan and the iqamah for the morning prayer until the prayer is completed, disliked sailing in the sea during a storm, and disliked sleeping on a rooftop that is not enclosed." He (sw) said: "Whoever sleeps on a rooftop that is not enclosed, the protection (of Allah) is lifted from him." He (swt) has disliked a man sleeping alone in a house and disliked a man approaching his wife while she is in menstruation. If he does so and the child is born with leprosy or vitiligo, then he should blame none but himself. He (swt) has disliked a man approaching a woman after having experienced a wet dream until he has performed ghusl from the dream he saw. If he does so and the child is born insane, then he should blame none but himself. He (swt) has disliked a man speaking to a leper unless there is a distance of at least one arm's length between them. He (sw) said: "Flee from a leper as you would flee from a lion." He (swt) has disliked urinating on the bank of a flowing river and disliked relieving oneself under a fruit-bearing tree that has ripened, or a palm tree that has borne fruit. He (swt) has disliked putting on shoes while standing, disliked entering a dark house unless there is a lamp or fire in front of him, and disliked blowing (with the mouth) during prayer."

4915 - وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "لاَ يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُجْنِبَ فِي هَذَا اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ اَلْحَسَنُ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي".

4916 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "قِيلَ لِعِيسَى اِبْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا لَكَ لاَ تَتَزَوَّجُ فَقَالَ وَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالتَّزْوِيجِ قَالُوا يُولَدُ لَكَ قَالَ وَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالْأَوْلاَدِ إِنْ عَاشُوا فَتَنُوا وَ إِنْ مَاتُوا أَحْزَنُوا".

Hadith.4916 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "It was said to Isa (as) (Jesus), the son of Mariyum {s.a} (Mary): 'Why do you not marry?' Isa (as) replied: 'And what would I do with marriage?' They said: 'Children would be born to you.' Isa (as) said: 'And what would I do with children? If they live, they will lead to trials, and if they die, they will cause me sorrow.'"

4917 - وَ كَانَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ: " اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ رَبّاً وَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ ضَيَاعاً وَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِي قَبْلَ أَوَانِ مَشِيبِي وَ مِنْ خَلِيلٍ مَاكِرٍ عَيْنَاهُ تَرَانِي وَ قَلْبُهُ يَرْعَانِي إِنْ رَأَى خَيْراً دَفَنَهُ وَ إِنْ رَأَى شَرّاً أَذَاعَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَجَعِ اَلْبَطْنِ صُمٌّ إِذَا سَمِعُوا خَيْراً ذُكِرْتُ بِهِ وَ إِنْ ذُكِرْتُ بِشَرٍّ عِنْدَهُمْ أَذِنُوا ".

Hadith.4917 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) used to say in his supplication: "O Allah (swt), I seek refuge in You (swt) from a child who becomes a master over me, from wealth that becomes a burden upon me, from a wife who causes me to grow old before my time, and from a deceitful friend whose eyes watch me while his heart harbors ill will toward me. If he sees good in me, he conceals it, and if he sees evil in me, he spreads it. And I seek refuge in You (swt) from the pain of the stomach, and from people who are deaf (in character), when they hear good about me, they forget it, and when they hear bad about me, they spread it."

4918 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ فَلاَ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ أَبَداً مَنْ لَمْ يَخْشَ اَللَّهَ فِي اَلْغَيْبِ وَ لَمْ يَرْعَوِ عِنْدَ اَلشَّيْبِ وَ لَمْ يَسْتَحِ مِنَ اَلْعَيْبِ".

Hadith.4918 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "There are three traits in a person from whom no good can ever be expected: one who does not fear Allah (swt) in private, one who shows no restraint in old age, and one who feels no shame from committing faults."

4919 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ فَتَخْرُجُ مِنْ تَحْتِهِ فَلَوْ أَصَابَتْ زِنْجِيّاً لَتَشَبَّثَتْ بِهِ فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَهْلَهُ فَلْيَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمَا مُدَاعَبَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ لِلْأَمْرِ".

Hadith.4919 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Indeed, one of you may approach his wife, and she departs from beneath him; if she were to encounter a black man, she would cling to him. Therefore, when one of you approaches his wife, there should be mutual foreplay between them, for it is more pleasant and better for intimacy."

4920 - وَ رَوَى سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "فُضِّلَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَ تِسْعِينَ مِنَ اَللَّذَّةِ وَ لَكِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا اَلْحَيَاءَ".

Hadith.4920 - Sama'ah narrated from Abu Basir who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: "The woman has been favored over the man with ninety-nine portions of pleasure, but Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has placed modesty upon her."

4921 - وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "لَنْ يَعْمَلَ اِبْنُ آدَمَ عَمَلاً أَعْظَمَ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ نَبِيّاً أَوْ هَدَمَ اَلْكَعْبَةَ اَلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قِبْلَةً لِعِبَادِهِ أَوْ أَفْرَغَ مَاءَهُ فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ حَرَاماً".

Hadith.4921 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The son of Adam will not commit a deed greater in sin before Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, than a man who kills a prophet, or demolishes the Kaaba which Allah (swt), has made as a Qibla for His (swt) servants, or discharges his semen unlawfully in a woman."

4922 - وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: "اِنْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مِنْ سَرِيَّةٍ كَانَ أُصِيبَ فِيهَا نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ يَسْأَلْنَ عَنْ قَتْلاَهُنَّ فَدَنَتْ مِنْهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ فُلاَنٌ قَالَ "وَ مَا هُوَ مِنْكِ" قَالَتْ أَخِي قَالَ "اِحْمَدِي اَللَّهَ وَ اِسْتَرْجِعِي فَقَدِ اُسْتُشْهِدَ" فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ فُلاَنٌ قَالَ "وَ مَا هُوَ مِنْكِ" قَالَتْ زَوْجِي قَالَ "اِحْمَدِي اَللَّهَ وَ اِسْتَرْجِعِي فَقَدِ اُسْتُشْهِدَ" فَقَالَتْ وَا ذُلاَّهْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "مَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ تَجِدُ بِزَوْجِهَا هَذَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اَلْمَرْأَةَ" ".

Hadith.4922 - Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "I heard him say: The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) returned from a military expedition in which many Muslims had been killed. The women came to meet him, asking about their slain relatives. A woman approached him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), what happened to so-and-so?' He (sw) replied: 'And what is he to you?' She said: 'He is my brother.' He (sw) said: 'Praise Allah (swt) and say Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Indeed, we belong to Allah (swt) and to Him we shall return), for he has been martyred.' She did so and then asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), what about so-and-so?' He (sw) said: 'And what is he to you?' She said: 'He is my husband.' He (sw) said: 'Praise Allah (swt) and say Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, for he has been martyred.' She then exclaimed, 'Oh, what a tragedy!'

Hadith.4923 - Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), why do we feel a stronger affection for our children than they feel for us?" He (sw) replied: "Because they are from you, but you are not from them."

Hadith.4924 - It is narrated from Mas'adah ibn Sadaqah al-Raba'i from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he was asked: "Why is the believer sometimes the sharpest in behavior?" Imam (as) replied: "Because the honor of the Qur'an is in his heart, and pure faith is in his chest. He is a servant obedient to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (sw), and he is truthful." Imam (as) was asked: "Why is the believer sometimes the most stingy?" Imam (as) replied: "Because he earns his sustenance from lawful means, and seeking lawful sustenance is difficult. Therefore, he dislikes parting with it, knowing how precious it is. But if he is generous, he only spends it where it is appropriate." Imam (as) was asked: "Why is the believer sometimes the most desirous in marriage?" Imam (as) replied: "To protect his chastity from unlawful relations and so that his desires do not sway him in one direction or another. Thus, when he attains what is lawful, he suffices with it and feels no need for anything else." Imam (as) also said: "The strength of the believer is in his heart. Do you not see that he may appear physically weak and thin, yet he stands in prayer at night and fasts during the day?"

He (sw) replied: "Yes, for a woman, from the time of her pregnancy until she gives birth and until she weans her child, she receives a reward equal to that of a person stationed in the way of Allah (swt). And if she dies during that period, she will have the same status as a martyr."

4927 - : وَ ذُكِرَ اَلنِّسَاءُ عِنْدَ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ فِي وَسَطِ اَلطَّرِيقِ وَ لَكِنَّهَا تَمْشِي إِلَى جَانِبِ اَلْحَائِطِ".
